LDS4821ST LG Dishwasher - Instructions

I removed the front panel that was attached by 6 screws and then placed the new panel on the front of the dishwasher and rescrewed the 6 screws back into place.

pulled dishwasher out of cabinet, removed side panel held by screws front and back, removed broken tension rope installed new rope, replaced side panel pushed dishwasher back into cabinet and fastened
to countertop, door works like new now, (the chief cook is happy as she can be)

My husband was able to slide the dishwasher out, and quickly replace the old connector assembly for the new ones. The old connector assembly had broken at the “rope”. Now the door opens slowly and is as good as new.

The repair took right at one hour. Repair length of time will depend on what all you have to disconnect to get your dish washer out so you can remove both side panels where you will be able to access the door springs, etc. There is a door spring on each side and I recommend replacing both connectors cords while you have the dishwasher out. Mine were both broken. One thing I noticed when doing my repair was that the bracket that is on the bottom of the door was not aligned properly to the small pulley that the connector cords travels under. If yours is out of alignment you will be able to tell once you get the connector cord installed. I used heavy pliers to bend the bracket slightly inward so the connector cords rides in the center of the pulley and not off to the outside as before. This may be why mine broke in the first place. After part replacement, reinstall the door panels and put the washer back in service. There are also YouTube's of this repair so you can see what you are getting into. Basic repair.

Took off the broken one and snap on the new one.

Very simple repair. I am mechanically inclined; however, even someone who never did a repair like this can do it. The following YouTube video describes the steps. It took me about 40 minutes to complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyTeXK5dYMk

I am 77 years old and got it all on but the corners did not want to go in so I had to call my grandson and he got them in. It still leaked on the bottom left side. It is getting old (11 yrs) so I decided to get a new one. It is actually pretty simple to install, but it does take a little strength.

Took out old rack. Put in new rack. Done.

No other assembly required.

This was my first time repairing a dishwasher. I watched YouTube on how to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet. Afterwards, I removed the bottom of the dishwasher while it was laying flat to get to the motor and micro switch. The only difficulty I had was getting to the motor which required taking the bottom section off of the dishwasher. I could not get an appliance repair company to work on an LG dishwasher. My only option was to repair the dishwasher or bought a new dishwasher. Therefore, my wife and I decided to , make an attempt to repair this one with a backup plan of buying a new one. Luckily, we were able to fix this one within two hours.

This was a $999 dishwasher. We saved the cost of a new dishwasher by taking the time to fix this one.

The parts are wrong and am trying to return them. There was no return information included with delivery. Calling the Customer Service number for assistance did not work.

I would just like to return these rollers and would like a return address.

Thank you!

same as in the video , but the double red wire is on the wrong terminal you have to break the plastic housing on the dishwasher and put it on the first one next to the white wire .if you hook it up the way it is the dishwasher wont work and when you open the door the dishwasher turns on . watch the video real close when it gets to the wire connections you see the double red wire goes over one pin to the one next to the white wire . works fine after that.

connector was broken. just attached new connector to spring on each side of door. easy fix.

Followed the video provided by your company, done like 1,2,3

snapped on new axel-wheel assembly

Replaced it . Simple
